zDir V2.7  (13.2.98)  by Finn Nielsen  -  ©1998 ZzNyYd! Design.


Changes from zDir V2.6 to zDir V2.7 - 'Friday the 13th' edition:
  Managed to screw up -S with some of the changes in V2.6, fixed.
  The ALTDIR option sometimes caused Enforcer hits, fixed.
  The switch NOBAR changed to the numeric argument SEPLEN.
  zDir will no longer enter directory links recursively.
  When COLUMNS is -1 zDir will now adjust the columns so that each column
  is only as wide as the longest entry in that column.
  New environment variable option, HIDE, will hide any pattern you want.
  New option, -h, hides files with 'h'-bit (FIBF_HIDDEN) set.
  New option, -a, cancels -h and HIDE.
  Option parsing routine allowed a space between -F and -C and their
  argument, fixed.


Introduction:
  When  working a lot with a command line interface a good dir listing util
is  a  must.  However  the  output  from  the List command, supplied on the
workbench  disks,  fills  to much (I don't always need to know the state of
the  protections  bits  and  creation date and time), the Dir command (also
from  the  wb  disks)  doesn't  give enough information and further more it
simply looks ugly and it sucks, and so does most other dir listing utils.
  Some  dir  listing  utils,  such  as  xDir, xfdList and MList, comes in a
software  package and exists only to support that special software package,
and, unfortunately, lack a lot of functionallity.

  So  here is zDir, a Dir listing util that has all the functionallity that
is required by a real Dir command, a nice look, a list option + it supports
the software packages xpk, xfd, fileid and MultiUser.



zDir can replace:
 ° C='s Dir.
 ° xDir (from the xpk-package).
 ° xfdList (from the xfd-package).
 ° WhatIs (from the FIDLIB-package).
 ° MList (from the MultiUser-package)

Features:
 ° Says "*** Ni." when you break it.
 ° 100% pure, can be made resident.
 ° Uses efficient memory-pools.
 ° Very fast assembly written sorting algorithm.
 ° Shows the full path of the directory that is read.
 ° Has a much nicer look than other dir-listing utils.
 ° Can output disksizes in Kb or MB.
 ° Sets the pr_Result2 field on error so the 'Why' command can be used.

Features accessible via options:
 ° List option (recognizes and ignores XFH-comments).
 ° Recursive option (can recursively read an entire directory tree).
 ° Sizecheck dirs option.
 ° Recognizes xpk-packed and powerpacked data-files internally.
 ° supports MultiUserFileSystem
   (group & other protection bits + owner/group field).
 ° Supports xfdmaster.library and FileID.library.
 ° Can recursively scan a directory tree for a specific filename
   or filecomment.

What zDir doesn't have:
 ° An LFORMAT argument: zDir is a Dir-command not a List-command!
   When you need LFORMAT use List or something.
